It is a common misconception that convenience and security are opposing terms when working in industrial control system networks. However, here at Phoenix Contact, we believe that it is a sliding scale that requires finding the right balance between the two.
The newest additions to the FL mGuard family are the FL mGuard 1102 and the FL mGuard 1105 which offer simple, low-cost protection for any industrial network with the trusted routing, NAT, and firewall technology that the mGuard firmware provides.
The range of functions allows you to quickly put the devices into operation even with little network and security expertise, whether it’s a new subnet (with routing and NAT) or an existing network (as a transparent device). The mGuard 1102 and 1105 are designed to fit applications with basic security requirements with their Stateful Packet Inspection firewall and high data throughput demands with gigabit interfaces.
The mGuard 1000 series features make it truly easy to use:

The simplified scope of functions allows users to commission devices quickly, even if they are not fully up-to-speed on the latest network technology and security.
NAT plays an important role when control system engineers in OT networks are looking to integrate equipment with repeated IP addressing into larger zones and even plant-wide architectures. In doing so, the OEM reduces development and commissioning time, and the end-user can take advantage of the real-time data the integrated equipment is producing.
Simple network security with the Stateful Firewall
Implementing an industrial firewall has never been easier, just follow a few simple steps:
Additional step: Users can also activate Test Mode for continued monitoring and alarming of uncommon data packets not captured during the previous steps.
Automated systems will continue to take over device configuration in OT networks. For a machine to configure our devices, we must be able to speak and understand "machine language". For this purpose, we offer a corresponding RESTful API interface.
